The insidious creep of gender replacing sex

Just seen this v short video on discrimination. On twitter . But it states gender rather than sex. This is everywhere now and it's getting like a game of whack-a-mole to challenge it.

This starts in a early as school.

Our electronic pupil data system, in our very large local authority, uses “gender” instead of “sex”.

Every form for assessments, referrals to outside agencies, everything, uses sex. So technically, we are not recording a pupil’s biological sex on any of their education records and practically, people are being duped into thinking they’re the same thing.

It starts even earlier than that.
Gender scan anyone?

I have a few (actually, just four!, out of over 800!) great GC FB friends, more outspoken than I am. One of them posted that she had received this Equal Opportunities form to fill out and she wrote a long, brilliant letter of complaint regarding the use of gender vs sex, and the second question in particular. She wrote, among other things:

Our sex is not ‘assigned’ but observed and recorded correctly. Humans cannot change sex. We can identify how we want but it doesn’t alter our sex and we cannot ‘identify’ into a sex or ‘identify’ out of it. We just are. We each have a sex and a personality.

'They' got away with it because saying gender seems like a much nicer word than the word sex.

By 'they', I mean Stephen Whittle and his Press For Change Organisation.
He admitted he used the word gender deliberately to influence law and policy makers without the public noticing.

Press For Change, this name seems so innocent doesn't it.

It is time the word gender was banished from everyone's vocabulary.

The word we should use instead is personality.

The word sex would then retain its correct meaning.

sadly have been banned from twitter repeatedly for tweeting about this madness.
It is a ideology pushed by liberal left, mainly in USA and Canada, but spreading like a plague in UK.
BUT society must stand firm. Sex is binary, for many obvious reasons.
There's MALE & FEMALE. Full stop -
we must ensure this simple reality is carried forward. We have better equal rights than most nations, and most times in history, let it not be thrown away in a time of delusional trans ideology that undermines simple reality. There is bologicl differences for an obvious reason. Men cannot become mothers, womens right to privacy must be respected by ALL.

Someone this week posted a survey their DD had done, on Page 1 it conflated sex with gender but when I pointed this out I was told to bore off and just complete the survey. Those posters clearly neither understood or cared about it. Depressing.

A friend of mine recently told me her daughter was arranging a gender reveal party (a balloon is popped after vasts amount of prosecco is sunk) and the colour of the confetti spilling out of said balloon, gives the gender of baby to be born.

I put a Confused face on and asked her to explain what gender is, and when I went through the "oh don't you mean sex?" reply, I got hissed at for apparently being so fucking awkward.
